The care and attention to details can only be really grasped when you handle one in person and in the comfort of your home. The MacBook Pro is the most beautiful piece of technology I could lay my hands on. Let’s jump right into what is, in my opinion, what Apple does best and where very few other manufacturers are able to achieve. The box contains the MacBook Pro, the power brick and a USB-C cable, a very thick one that can handle that 87W needed to charge the laptop, and the usual folded paper holder with the regulatory and quick start guide (don’t forget the Apple stickers!) Overall Design The iPhone is leading the way and I think that for the 10th anniversary iPhone it would make sense to push the environment envelope even further to achieve this goal. If I had to make a bet, I would bet that we will see a 100% paper made packaging before the end of 2017. Basically, the only plastic piece left is the insert of the box where all the components fit neatly. All the attachments and loops for the cables, like in the iPhone 7 box, are now made of recyclable paper. Apple is now using the San Francisco font on the side of the box, instead of Myriad, and even more of the packaging is made of paper. Apple’s packaging has always been over the top and this year, it’s even better. Packagingīefore we jump into the device itself, we must look at the packaging. The loaner MacBook Pro is a 15” base model, so it’s equipped as such: I was very happy to see that I could get the Space Gray!

And finally, we have an extra 13”, often called the MacBook Pro ESC, a version of the new 13” but without the Touch Bar.Īll the new models are available in Silver or Space Grey. We still have the mid-2015 15” and 13” on sale at a lower price than the Touch Bar versions. As you might know the MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, I’ll call it MBPtb from now on, comes in two 15” configurations and two 13” configurations. The Specsįirst of all, let’s cover which model I got my hands on. I only had the computer for a week but I think I’m past the honeymoon phase and I just had enough time to run a couple long battery benchmarks that caused so many headaches to both Apple and Consumer Reports.
